Emosin MGO Flooring Under Rolling Loads: What a Castor Chair Test Shows

For offices, hotels and hospitals, flooring is exposed to more than foot traffic. Office chairs, luggage carts, trolleys and medical equipment can apply repeated rolling loads to the floor every day.

For buyers sourcing flooring for these environments, wear resistance is only part of the picture. The question is also whether the finished flooring can withstand repeated rolling loads without visible damage.

Why Are Rolling Loads Different?

Foot traffic mainly affects the surface through repeated abrasion. Rolling loads create concentrated pressure on a much smaller area.

The wear layer protects the surface, but it does not tell you how the entire flooring structure responds to repeated loads. A chair wheel or trolley can apply pressure to the same area again and again.

That is why wear layer thickness alone is not enough when evaluating flooring for high-traffic commercial spaces.

How Did Emosin MGO Flooring Perform?

To evaluate this performance, we had our 8 mm Emosin MGO flooring tested by SGS using a castor chair test.

Test conditions:

• Flooring thickness: 8.0 mm
• Load: 90 kg
• Wheel type: Type W
• Cycles: 25,000
• Test method: With reference to ISO 4918:2016/Amd 1:2018

Result: No visible damage. 

The full SGS test report is available on request with your MGO sample.

What Should Commercial Flooring Buyers Ask?

When comparing flooring suppliers for offices, hotels, hospitals or other spaces with rolling loads, don't rely only on general claims such as “high durability.”

Ask for the actual test conditions and report:

• What flooring thickness was tested?
• What was the test load?
• What type of wheels were used?
• How many cycles were completed?
• Was the finished flooring tested?
• What was the final result?

A cycle number alone does not tell the whole story. The test conditions and the product tested matter just as much.

This castor chair test is one part of how we evaluate Emosin MGO flooring for demanding commercial applications. When a project requires flooring that can handle frequent daily use, Emosin MGO offers another option worth considering — and a chance to bring something different to the market.
